    But there is a reason. The side view gives a whole other perspective to the overlay of Otus, and lets you see his, er, man parts, emerging from the engulfing owl phage. Oh, and because it is a cool toy.

    It doesn't remind me of anything and that it pretty awesome by itself. Came out really nice. Hope I can snag a GID when they come out. The size of the feet makes it look like it stands really well which I love.

    Did you sculpt it yourself?

    If only you guys knew how long and patient Evom has been in making this your head would spin.

    Brent you know my feelings, this is such an amazing toy and I'm so glad it's now here.

    Congrats yet again

    Neat!

    It's cool when a new toy comes out that I like but it's so much better when I know the one behind it is such a nice person. I will be happy to get at least one of these in my collection.

    I am so damn impressed with the sculpting job. Seriously, it's amazing. The expressions of the spaceman and owl are just incredible.
    You can tell it was a labor of love. Grats. :mrgreen:

    Brent, beautiful job on the sculpt and release. Your first release went under the radar for me. But I look forward to scoring one in the future.

    thanks for all the kind words guys! It really means a lot coming from great skullbrainers.

    im working on getting my airbrush booth ventilation setup, so I can get this GID run done.
    the way i have to set it up is kind of complicated, but it should be within the next few weeks.

    Ahhh that's so neat!!! From a small 2.5 inch clay sculpt into resin, and then from there into full-fledged soft vinyl... I love it!

    You have to bring this back!

    The vinyl is great and I want one but I would love to snag one of these too for the mini collection.

    Your public secret is out again, Brent! I'm amazed that it stayed buried this long.

    I've been kicking myself for years, actually, over the day I skipped a swing at the painted up minty one.

    Yeah, I really like the resin precursur guy, too. We've discussed the ins and outs of this fella behind the scenes. You've always had a fine touch, Brent. It is great to see the evolution of the idea in your mind. This guy is different in his own way, and I think would have made a great keshi style figure, alongside a series of similar characters given realisation under the Evom touch.
